The Beaver Fiji A Publication of Kappa Omicron of Phi Gamma Delta Kappa Omicron Oregon State University Rush at Phi Gamma Delta Will Be Busy, Productive, and Successful Greetings, brothers. I hope it has been an enjoyable and prosperous summer for you. For those of us at the Kappa Omicron Chapter, it has been a hard-fought battle with the other fraternities for the best pledge class we can form. We really appreciate the help of those graduate brothers who submitted names of prospective Fijis. I tried to contact all of the names given to me. If you presently have any more names to submit, don't hesitate to contact me at the chapter. These names are valuable to us, so if you are able to help out anytime during the year by alerting us to a potential Fiji, please do so. We plan to have 30 men staying with us during Rush Week. Hopefully, the same number will remain as pledges. Rush Week has been carefully planned to keep the rushees very happy and very occupied. All in all, this year's pledge class seems to be shaping up to be a good one. All of the brothers will be hard at work during Rush Week (September 18-24) to help achieve our goals and con tinue the success of our chapter. Thank you for your continuing support. — Craig Barry, Rush Chairman Please help keep Phi Gamma Delta's alumni communications pro gram healthy and strong by finan cially supporting this fine endeavor.
